APC is at its best when some technical point is being discussed and expert opinons are rendered, dissected, and discussed--a recent multi-page thread on rejected takeoffs comes to mind.
Similar discussions take place at
Watts Up With That?
only there, the topic is the weather, climate change, and the associated science. Mr. Watts is the guy who decided to survey all the weather stations that are providing the raw data for the calculations of global temperature. Using the government's own criteria, he charts locations, takes photos, and rates the stations according to likely temperature error.
Some of the photos are remarkable--temperature sensors next to industrial air conditioners, backyard grills, on asphalt roofs, etc.
The blog itself is interesting with many regular contributors and even a couple of warmist trolls.
The weather station survey is about 70% complete in the US. Volunteers can collect the data and contribute to this project at:
